Pylon came out of the small college town of Athens, Georgia, at the dawn of the Eighties, playing a new kind of Southern rock that stunned people at the time and has continued to make converts ever since. Spare but fun, disorientating but inviting, their sound was in step with the stentorian dance-punk of U.K. bands like Gang of Four or the Au Pairs, but it was much more wide-open, driven by possibility rather than angst — the sound of slackers dreaming, not punks ranting.

Under normal circumstances, choosing to stay in can be a nice break from the chaos of the outside world. But these days, when social distancing is a worldwide mandate due to the coronavirus outbreak, it can be hard to keep your spirits up. Can music help us cope? We think so. Feelings of loneliness and alienation have made their way into countless songs. Here are some of our favorites that tackle the experience of solitude, and sometimes even find a silver lining.

Deerhunter are celebrating Halloween with an epic 13-minute new song titled “Timebends,” the band’s first new music since their latest LP Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? arrived in January.
The Atlanta band recorded “Timebends” in one night and in one take at Brooklyn, New York’s Bunker Studio on September 12th, with Deerhunter applying minimal overdubs to the lengthy opus that they recorded direct to tape.
“Timebends” opens with a winding piano melody and swirling guitars before singer Bradford Cox enters the fray. “I was made this way...

Cate Le Bon and Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox pay tribute to bored office workers on their new art-rock song, “Secretary.” The track is the first single off their collaborative Ep Myths 004, out November 1st via Mexican Summer.
The track features subtle cymbals to mirror the monotonous day-to-day life of office workers who eat “the same old plastic lunch.” Le Bon takes the lead, her delicate vocals uttering the chorus: “Can I take some time?/Can you stay on hold?/Take a holiday/Make amendments.”

The key to Cate Le Bon’s dazzling new album, Reward, is a chair. Not just any chair — a strikingly minimalist piece in dark-stained oak, which she built herself after finishing a yearlong course on furniture design. “It’s not comfortable, and it’s not particularly beautiful,” says the Welsh musician, 36. “I built myself a strange little throne, really.”
Le Bon is sitting in the café of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum on New York’s Upper East Side, explaining why she put her career on hold to study woodworking.

Deerhunter’s excellent new album, Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?, is the closest the long-running Atlanta band has ever come to an outright pop LP. Highlights like “What Happens To People?” and “Futurism” revel in their smooth edges and sophisticated arrangements, and the album as a whole has an appealing sleekness, at least on its surface.
Those pop instincts reach their apex with “Plains,” which the band has hidden away as the next-to-last track on Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? The song is a double tribute to two fallen idols.

Bradford Cox was 16 years old when he wrote his autobiography for the first time. “The title was The Burden of Time Is Fucked,” he says. It was more like a zine, really — the product of a lonely, queer, working-class kid in Athens, Georgia, reaching out to a future self. “Very thin,” he adds. “There was nothing to put in the fucking book.”
Since then, Cox has lived a life rich enough to fill several volumes. Deerhunter, the group he’s led since 2001, is one of the great guitar bands of the 21st century,...

Deerhunter revealed on social media that Fauver had died; a representative for the band confirmed the death. No cause of death was announced.
“Very difficult times now,” Deerhunter wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the band – Fauver included – in their formative years.

Deerhunter have announced a new album, Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? The Atlanta indie rockers’ eighth LP overall, it’s due out January 18th on 4Ad, and you can hear opening track “Death in Midsummer” right now.
This is Deerhunter’s first full-length release since 2015’s excellent Fading Frontier. (Earlier this year, they released a tour-only Ep, Double Dream of Spring, in a limited cassette run of 300.)

Bradford Cox dreamed up this hand-drawn concept map in advance of Deerhunter's Fading Frontier's October 16 release, but it wouldn't be fair to call it a sonic analogue to his band's strong seventh album. “When I made a concept map, I felt like I wanted to acknowledge the specific things that were influencing me at the time, but it can easily be mistaken as saying these are the things that influenced this collection of songs, which is completely not true,” says the prolific Atlanta musician behind the bands Deerhunter and Atlas Sound. Rather, this web of interlocking themes reflects the omnivorous quality of Cox's creative mind, and how inspiration can come from anywhere, even when you're "off the grid" and "out of range," as he croons on the album's darkly romantic second song, "I'm Living My Life." These influences' wide-ranging quality make sense given Deerhunter's commitment to evolution over the last...

Today’s teenagers may be their own industry, but the idea that there’s a distinctive time between childhood and adulthood is still relatively new.
Filmmaker Matt Wolf explores this concept, and the genesis of western youth culture, in Teenage, an intoxicating, genre-bending portrait of teenage life inspired by Jon Savage’s eponymous book. With never-before-seen archival footage, recreations, an original score from Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, and voiceovers from the likes of Ben Whishaw and Jena Malone, Wolf creates an experimental, creative non-fiction collage that covers the turn of the century through 1945.

Based on British author Jon Savage's punk history novel, Matt Wolf's "living collage" of a documentary, "Teenage," aims to tell the story of the formulative of years of youth culture. The doc, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and opens this Friday via Oscilloscope, presents a bounty of rare archival footage and beautifully shot reconstructions that delve into the lasting effect that flappers, swing kids, Nazi Youth and Boy Scouts had in the period between the enacting of child labor laws in the beginning of the twentieth century to the dropping of the atom bomb. It's a stylish, freewheeling and fun ride, buoyed by an astounding score from Deerhunter front-man Bradford Cox, but it also opens up the thought-provoking subject of the evolution of youth culture and where it's headed in contemporary times.

With "Teenage," documentarian Matt Wolf has assembled an impressive array of footage, facts, and photos to nimbly tell the pre-history of teenagers. Adapting Jon Savage’s 2007 book, "Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture," Wolf shrewdly interweaves four narrators as various storylines chronicle how teenagers in the U.S., UK, and Germany developed socially, culturally, and politically between 1904 and 1945. A pre-credit sequence shows “typical” American teenagers on a school campus. Various unidentified teens discuss their ambitions, and provide remarks about social and cultural change, as well as clothes, and records. One emphasizes that his parents bug him. Wolf artfully shows how these teenagers came to be. Teenagers were, in fact, a “wartime invention.” They chose to define themselves, rather than let adults do it for them. Seamlessly edited and evocatively scored by Bradford Cox (of the band Deerhunter), Teenage practically spellbinds viewers as eloquent voice-overs by Ben...

One of the most sought after demographics, a key influence on the shifting tides of pop culture, and early adopters of trends in tech, film, music and more that will affect future generations, teenagers hold more sway than you might give them credit for. But it wasn't always the case, and in fact, the term "teenager" is relatively new, popularized in the middle of the 20th century. And the upcoming documentary "Teenage" will explore the rise of this subculture and how they went from invisible to integral. Based on the book "Teenage: The Prehistory of Youth Culture: 1875-1945" by Jon Savage, director Matt Wolf uses archival material, filmed portraits, and diary entries to explore how teenagers came to define themselves, particularly through subcultures such as flappers, swing kids and much more. And in this exclusive clip, we see Wolf's technique in action, providing an interesting approach to this historical documentary.

Matt Wolf's documentary film "Teenage," narrated by the ever-popular Jena Malone ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire") and Ben Wishaw ("Skyfall") explores a world before Justin Bieber and Facebook; the film, which screened at the the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival takes a look at adolescence at the start of the 20th century. Read More: Tribeca: Jason Schwartzman, Matt Wolf and Jon Savage Discuss Their Epic 'Teenage' Undertaking In this trailer we are given snapshots of 1900 youth and see the lasting effects that changing labor laws, flapper culture and World War II had on teens at the time. Bradford Cox, lead singer of Indie bands "Deerhunter" and "Atlas Sound" scores.

Inspired by Jon Savage’s book of the same name and, “dedicated to young people in every generation, who continue to re-imagine the future”, Matt Wolf’s Teenage is a celebration of the revolutionary spirit of youth. Whilst it may not provide many revelations in terms of when and how this notorious breed of ‘the teenager’ came into being, Wolf’s scrapbook in motion, compiled of mostly archival material, does well to re-establish the cult of youth as one of great importance, especially in terms of societal influence.
Though most definitely a historical document, Teenage is nothing like the history lessons snoozed through in many a classroom. A punk aesthetic and Bradford Cox’s (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound) brilliant complimentary soundtrack give life to Wolf’s strangely addictive “living collage”. Images are collected, hoarded and plastered in layers like obsessions pasted over the walls of any teenage bedroom. The material is...

The second you see Matthew McConaughey‘s gaunt visage in Dallas Buyers Club, you know you’re in for a gritty movie, but this one is more intriguing that most: In the film, he plays Ron Woodruff, a real-life “drug-taking, woman-loving, homophobic man” who is diagnosed with HIV and given 30 days to live. After Azt treatments bring him even closer to death, he begins smuggling non-toxic, antiviral medications in from around the world, and — with the eventual help of his doctor (played by Jennifer Garner) and a transsexual woman named Rayon (Jared Leto) — inadvertently starts a smuggling ring for HIV patients who choose to forgo hospitals in favor of Woodruff’s U.S.-illegal remedies. The Fda and pharmaceutical companies wage a war on Woodruff, who went on to survive 2,191 days with HIV until he died in 1992.

Now here is a trailer I have been waiting to see, it’s the first trailer for Dallas Buyers Club based on a true story and starring Matthew McConaughey. He plays Texas electrician Ron Woodroof who, after being diagnosed with AIDS in 1986, began to smuggle alternative and illegal treatments into the Us and into the hands of other patients.
This could be the awarding role McConaughey has been waiting for, the man lost an crazy amount of weight and we all know how much the academy likes that. The movie also has Jared Leto co-starring as a transsexual, it’s going to make some noise.
The film also stars Jennifer Garner, Steve Zahn, Dallas Roberts, Griffin Dunne, Denis O’Hare, and Bradford Cox. Dallas Buyers Club will open on November 1st and will expand later.
